Pepperish-tasting VG/PG? That may be good for a black pepper chicken/steak flavor juice 
But I'd stay away from stuff like that.
If I encounter a runny VG, I'd be reaching for a hydrometer. Assuming you tested/tasted the various VG's at the same temperature, I'd reject the less thick one. I don't want to cast any shadows over someone's business, but a "clean" tasting and thin VG may be the result of dilution. Such adulteration may not necessarily be on purpose, and could stem from improper storage. Glycerol is hygroscopic and is also used as a humectant. In our high humidity climate, an uncovered container of the stuff would be gobbling up moisture from the air. If I wanna add water to help smooth out a juice, I'd rather use DIY distilled water, not ambient humidity! Stick with the sweeter and thicker stuff.
The thickness of VG can also change depending on the heat that it has been exposed to. Some people leave VG under the sun to make it more diluted before brewing. If you're using heat to dilute VG, it will still be sweet despite not being as thick as it used to be. If you're buying pure VG, it should be think and sweet in taste. But if it's not so thick and not that sweet, it could also be AG (Aqueous Glycerine). AG sometimes is also used in brews and it's also safe to consume as it's just mixed with distilled or de-ionised water. The ratio of AG is 85% VG 15% water. Vodka can also replaced with water in making AG which will help in giving a little throat hit if you're making max VG juice.
